Chapter 14

Three assassins attacked simultaneously, causing significant damage to Heizi, who was caught off guard. Even with a few ordinary cloth armors, he still lost nearly half of his health points.

System: The Shadow Guild has launched an attack on your team. Team members have the right to attack members of the Shadow Guild without incurring sin penalties, lasting for one hour.

“I’ll fight to the death with you.”

Heizi knew he was as good as dead. His speed was no match for the assassins, but he had to resist before dying. He chanted a spell, and a Shadow Arrow shot at Youlang from point-blank range.

Youlang sneered, knowing there was no way to avoid it, but he had 80 health points at level 0. How strong could a weak spellcaster’s attack be? Could it possibly kill him in one hit?

With a loud boom, the Shadow Arrow hit Youlang.

A damage number of 76 appeared over Youlang’s head, instantly reducing him to a sliver of health.

Seeing such damage, Youlang was stunned, his eyes almost popping out. The other two assassins were also shocked.

What the hell, this isn’t a spellcaster, it’s a cannon.

The person who caused the damage was also shocked. Heizi hadn’t expected the level 3 Shadow Arrow to be so powerful.

In fact, Heizi didn’t know that it wasn’t just the level 3 Shadow Arrow. The higher damage from the Blackwood Staff, the Aura of Thousand Riders, and the additional damage from level suppression all contributed to such high damage.

“Damn, brothers, kill him. His staff must be a Mithril equipment,” Youlang, a seasoned player, quickly reacted, looking at Heizi’s weapon with greed. If Heizi could cause such high damage, he must have Mithril equipment; otherwise, he wouldn’t have nearly killed him.

The two assassins immediately became enthusiastic, rushing towards Heizi. They didn’t even have ordinary weapons, let alone Mithril equipment. If they could get Mithril equipment, they would be in for a huge profit.

The three attacked again, and Heizi’s health points were down to 6. Seeing him about to die, the three assassins became even more excited, as the Mithril equipment was almost in their hands.

At this moment, Shifeng appeared, moving in an incredible way to block in front of Heizi. Three sword beams flashed, blocking the attacks of the three, creating three sparks, and the three assassins were all knocked back.

Before the three assassins could land and be surprised, they saw lightning flash.

Three lightning bolts hit the three floating assassins directly.

Damage numbers of -32, -41, and -50 appeared over their heads, reducing their health points to 0, and they instantly turned into a burst of starlight and disappeared.

Low defense combined with level suppression made the level 2 Wind Lightning Flash incredibly powerful!

“Brother Feng…” Heizi, in a daze, looked at the figure in front of him, stunned, “Are you Brother Feng?”

Everything happened so fast. Shifeng suddenly appeared, swung three swords to block attacks from three directions, and then used Wind Lightning Flash, all in an instant, too fast for the three assassins to react.

Such agility and reaction speed were almost inhuman. If it weren’t for the familiar Shifeng in front of him, he would have thought it was someone else in disguise.

After scanning the area, Shifeng found that 8 players had surrounded them, led by Yanhu. He didn’t dare to stay, urging, “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

Although he had activated Agile Swift and had full freedom of movement, and possessed an extraordinary constitution that could keep up with his thoughts, his physical attributes were still too low, making it difficult to control and very draining on his mental energy. He could only handle high bursts a few times, not for long periods. With many plate armor classes and healers on the other side, the only option was to run.

Heizi nodded repeatedly.

“Everyone, attack! We must get his Bronze equipment and occupy this mine,” Yanhu licked his lips, extremely excited, not caring about the three dead assassins.

Spending hours searching for Shifeng and Heizi in the Dark Moon Valley had significantly slowed their leveling speed. Initially, Yanhu was furious, but when he accidentally found Shifeng and Heizi killing monsters, he almost died of excitement. His hatred for Shifeng was reduced by half, and he was grateful to Shifeng for giving him such a treasure spot.

Killing monsters above their level was notoriously difficult. If they could kill level 4 monsters without taking damage, their leveling speed would be terrifying. They could surpass all players in less than ten hours, establishing a huge advantage, and unifying Red Leaf Town would be within reach. At that time, becoming the leader of the Shadow Guild might not be far off.

Due to the opening of Divine Realm, countless virtual game companies went bankrupt, and billions of players flooded into Divine Realm. To get a share of the pie, many companies and groups entered Divine Realm, making it the most profitable virtual game.

Thinking about standing out in Red Leaf Town, surpassing major guilds, and becoming the leader of the Shadow Guild, Yanhu was so excited he couldn’t speak. At that time, luxury cars, beautiful women, mansions, and villas would all be within reach, all thanks to Shifeng.

However, gratitude aside, the Bronze equipment on Shifeng and Heizi couldn’t be overlooked.

“Brother Hu, the two are running too fast, we can’t catch up,” a Berserker said.

“Let them run, but this treasure spot is enough,” Yanhu’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the mine, already imagining leading the trend in Red Leaf Town.

“Brother Hu, what about Youlang and the others? They’ve all dropped back to level 0 and lost a lot of skill proficiency,” an Elementalist asked.

Yanhu glanced at his subordinate and said, “Is that a problem? Didn’t you see? Attacking the goblins in the smoke from a distance, the goblins won’t attack players. These are level 4 monsters, so leveling them up will be easy. Get them to come quickly.”

“You’re brilliant, Brother Hu, to find such a treasure spot. You’ll definitely be the first in our Shadow Guild,” the Elementalist started flattering.

“Get lost, what first in the Shadow Guild? I’m the first in Divine Realm,” Yanhu said angrily.

The other Shadow members agreed, mocking the Elementalist for sucking up.

Soon, under Yanhu’s command, three spellcasters stood at a distance to deal damage, while others lured the goblins into the smoke, systematically killing them.

“So good, so good, killing one goblin and splitting the experience among so many people, and we gain 2% each time.”

“Brother Hu, this is amazing. These monsters drop a lot of money and minerals, and the goblins respawn quickly. We can keep grinding until level 6. By then, our Shadow Guild will definitely be the first in Red Leaf Town.”

The Shadow members were all smiling, knowing they could all reach level 6 in a few hours, then dominate all guilds in Red Leaf Town, which was exhilarating to think about.

“Hahaha, you’re lucky. Follow me, and the other captains are nothing. I’ll be the leader of the Shadow Guild,” Yanhu was in high spirits, with experience points pouring in. He could reach level 2 in less than an hour, making up for the previous loss.

Not far from the Red Star Mine, Heizi was gritting his teeth.

“Brother Feng, are we just going to let this slide? That was information we got from the beta testers. Now it’s benefiting them. I’m so angry just thinking about it. These Shadow people are despicable. Luckily, I didn’t join.”

Shifeng shook his head, looked at the time on the system screen, and smiled calmly, “They dared to take what’s mine. Let them enjoy it for now. Soon, they’ll know what it means to be overjoyed and then devastated.”
